On Friday, the task force installed four mobile temporary signs to direct students when crossing the road and inform motorists to slow down.
Saipan and Northern Islands Municipal Council Chaiman Ramon B. Camacho, one of the main proponents of the task force, said the highway in Koblerville is “very hazardous” to students.
“We ask the motorists to take extra caution,” he added.
John Reyes, a Koblerville task force volunteer, said they will also install a billboard to inform the community about the presence of anti-crime and community development advocates in the area.
The other volunteers are Eusebio Borja, Justin Camacho, Jose Rabauliman and Jose Rabauliman Jr.
Reyes said they have also been cleaning the roadside to ensure safety and preserve the environment.
He encouraged other community members to be part of the revitalization effort.
The Legislature, he said, should fund the task force so it can implement more development programs in the community.
He also asked the Saipan mayor’s office to help ensure the installation of the crosswalk in Koblerville.
Reyes thanked Saipan Republican Reps. Joseph M. Palacios, Eliceo D. Cabrera and Sen. Ralph DLG. Torres for their support.
According to Camacho, however, task members should not always rely on the government.
It is the community that should get involved in the program, he added.
